    QUICK! help with securing herpstat probe!

    How should I secure the herpstat probe to the flexwatt? I know using foil tape is a no-no as it can give false readings. Do you tape directly over the probe bit?

    I don't have much experience about this since I only started using flexwatt for a couple of days, but from my experience, Gaffer tape works just fine. Hope this helps.

    I would suggest that you secure the probe with hot glue if you have any on hand, otherwise any heat resistant tape will work (excluding any conductive tapes like foil tape)

    You want to secure the probe on the bottom half of the probe itself and the cord going into the probe. Leave the tip of the probe exposed.
